Fine Art Reproductions & Messy Studio

The studio is a mess... this pic does not do it justice!

I blame Max... all he does is sleep all day - in My chair!

(Have you ever seen such a fat cat? But he is a growing boy!)

I have some fine art reproductions completed...  8 x 8", on stretched canvas... I like these as the thick sides mean they free stand....

 As the original of Dream has sold, I am really happy to be able to offer this as a print, or as a finished art like these - she's so cute!

She reminds me of sun-filled days, with flowers and dreams 

The original of Happy is still available...or as above, or as a print... she is slightly wistful, but I also imagine she is simply at peace, with the slightest of Mona Lisa smiles...

email me if you are interested in any of my art as prints, or as fine art reproductions

 Christmas creeps up on me every year!  I han't yet planned the Christmas menu, or shopped, or even made a pud ( whch I normally do)... I have most of the pressie's bought however... I wonder if like most years we end up wrapping them at midnight on Christmas Eve?

I'll link in with Sunday Sketches & Paint party Friday ( If I'm Not too late?) 

(Not sure How much Blogging I'll be doing leading up to Christmas - we have this 'n that all the usual pre-christmas stuff Plus 2 days away on a mini-break - yay!  If I get any sketching done I may just do mobile posting - it's quick and easy at least - or this may end up being a bit of blogging holiday... we'll just have to see!)

I wish...

Do you ever wish something would happen?

 

...that you could fly away on a heart shaped balloon to somewhere special?

...with lilac skies and sunsets,  way above the noise of the city?

 

I wish!

"I wish..." 12 x 12" approx. mixed media on board (acrylic, texture, pencil, paper, linen). 2012. $160

The sixth painting I've done now using vintage linen doilys, and the heart shapaed balloon motifs are just too cute!  I only have 2 more pieces of this embroidery left, so it must be time to go op shopping again.  However, finding nice, vintage examples of doilys, and lace, is getting harder and harder, and more and more pricey! 

Did you know - if you click on an image - you go to a larger gallery view - try it!

Updates on the studio: I sold another painting on the weekend - yay!  The cats still prefer to sleep on top on my drawing desk, and drink from the still clean water pot on my desk; I have plans to re-arrange things (again) as the sun coming through the window is too bright (eastern sun) - or maybe just get some curtains to cut the sun in the morning; There are 2 paintings in progress, and plans for at least another 3 large, as well as a multitude of ideas; I have a list of art supplies I need, for the next time I'm near an art shop.

My wish: for more time!  What's yours?
